This paper explores the response of the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich (ETH Zurich) to the student unrest of 1968. Specifically, it analyses the teaching of Swiss architect and educator René Furer on architectural theory. One of the key examples is Furer’s lecture on mannerism, in which both sixteenth-century and contemporary projects were used to illustrate “semantic” and “syntactic” dimensions of architecture. The terminology and pluralist content of the lecture show how mannerism was related to the notion of architecture as language and to nascent postmodernism. By highlighting this episode, the paper challenges the prevailing narrative of Swiss architecture as a bastion of modernism, suggesting that teaching at ETH was more in tune with international developments than previously thought.

AbstractThis article explores the value and lessons of the late baroque for Dalibor Vesely as an example of the role that it played for many architectural educators in the 1970s and 1980s. It shows the specific roots of Vesely’s interpretation of the late baroque in the context of the influence of his mentors, the art historian Vaclav Richter, and the phenomenologist Jan Patočka whose thought positioned the late baroque in relationship to the crisis of modernity. It then shows how Vesely used the late baroque in his studio and seminar teaching in the 1980s at the University of Cambridge school of architecture, not only to develop his students’ historical and theoretical critique of modern architecture, but as a model for contemporary design practice, finding in examples of late baroque churches, such as Johann Michael Fischer’s renovations of the church at Zwiefalten Abbey (1739–65), an architecture of ambiguity, complexity, sensuality, imagination, and holism that could inspire contemporary architecture.Keywords: Dalibor Veselyphenomenologyarchitectural educationbaroqueJan Patočka Disclosure StatementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 Vesely had written about the emergence of instrumental representation and emancipated representation before, but it was not until the publication of his book that he coined the phrase “divided representation” to name a time in which “instrumental non-communicative” representation emerged as a separate domain from “symbolic communicative” representation.

【摘要】本文探讨了晚期巴洛克风格对达利伯·维塞利的价值和教训,并以其为例,探讨了它在20世纪70年代和80年代对许多建筑教育家所起的作用。它显示了Vesely在他的导师,艺术史学家Vaclav Richter和现象学家Jan pato<e:1> ka的影响下对巴洛克晚期的解释的具体根源,后者的思想将巴洛克晚期与现代性危机联系起来。然后展示了Vesely如何在20世纪80年代在剑桥大学建筑学院的工作室和研讨会教学中使用晚期巴洛克风格,不仅发展了他的学生对现代建筑的历史和理论批判,而且作为当代设计实践的典范,在晚期巴洛克教堂的例子中发现,例如Johann Michael Fischer对zwifalten修道院教堂的翻新(1739-65),一个模糊,复杂,感性,想象力的建筑。整体主义可以启发当代建筑。关键词:达利伯·维塞利现象学建筑教育巴洛克风格jan pato<e:1>披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。注1 Vesely之前写过关于工具性表征和解放性表征的出现,但直到他的书出版,他才创造了“分裂表征”这个词来命名一个时代,在这个时代,“工具性非交际性”表征作为一个独立于“象征性交际性”表征的领域出现。参见Dalibor Vesely,《分裂表现时代的建筑:生产阴影下的创造力问题》(剑桥,麻省理工学院出版社,2004),175-77.2 George Gunther撰写的备忘录副本,1975年10月20日,收录在1975年学校NAAB认证报告中,肯塔基大学建筑学院图书馆Dalibor Vesely,文凭单元2(1987-88),展览目录1988,22.4 Vesely,分裂表现时代的建筑,218.5 Vesely,分裂表现时代的建筑,222.6柏拉图在《座谈会》中使用了“mettaxis”一词,202d13 - e17。现在,对巴洛克晚期从罗卡装饰解放中出现的自主艺术的经典解释可以在Hans Sedlmayr,危机中的艺术:失落的中心(伦敦:霍利斯和卡特有限公司,1957年出版),最初出版的标题是《人类的未来:19世纪的艺术》。和20。《时代的征兆和象征》(维也纳:奥托·米勒出版社,1948);卡斯滕·哈里斯,《破碎的框架:三次讲座》(华盛顿特区:美国天主教大学,1989年);卡斯滕·哈里斯,《建筑的伦理功能》(剑桥,马萨诸塞州:麻省理工学院出版社,1997)汉斯·塞德迈尔和赫尔曼·鲍尔,“洛可可”,《世界艺术百科全书》第12卷(纽约:麦格劳希尔出版社,1966年),230-74页;亨利-拉塞尔·希区柯克,“洛可可的极限:约翰·迈克尔·费舍尔和J.B.诺伊曼的作品”,德国南部的洛可可建筑(纽约:Praeger出版社,1968),175-229;卡斯滕·哈里斯,《巴伐利亚洛可可教堂:信仰与唯美主义之间》(康涅狄格州纽黑文:耶鲁大学出版社,1983年)Vesely, Architecture in the Age of Divided Representation, 75, 86.10 See,例如,他们发表的通信:Jan pato<e:1> ka, Dopisy Václavu Richterovi (Prague: Oikoymenh, 2001).11关于这个主题,请参见Joseph Bedford,“Dalibor Veselý的危机表现”,《建筑教育杂志》76期,第6期。2 (2022): 70-82.12 Tomáš Murár,艺术作为一种原则和模式:沃伊特恩奇·伯恩鲍姆的艺术史概念和方法(布拉格:档案馆výtvarného umění, 2017), 146-26;米莱娜·巴特洛夫<e:1>,“维也纳艺术史学派的捷克遗产的连续性和非连续性”,《艺术史杂志》2013年第8期,7.13瓦茨拉夫·里希特,《波门的Bauten和Baumeister der Barockzeit》综述,作者:H.G.
